Scope :
There will be multiple Apple Mac Mini's running XBMC media centre software on a network
Think of this was something you would see an an airplane when the captain makes an annoucment
Require someone to build a simple webapage that can access all computers on network running XBMC and control them. This can use the inbuilt plugins available with XBMC or you can code your own python script
There needs to be a web page that someone can access.
The web page will have a field for a text message and a Lock Button and a Unlock Button
Page design is to be very simple and clean
Webpage is to be hosted on an apache / php / mssql server. I.E it must be able to run on XAMP [login to view URL]
When Lock button is pressed it will contact all computers on network hosting the XBMC software and needs to
* Mute the music or sound
* Pause any music or movie playing
* Display the message
* Stop any input for XBMC to allow to be unpaused
When Unlock Button is pressed it will revert the XBMC back to previous state and
* Un-mute music or sound
* Continue playing for music or movie
* Remove the message
* Allow input for XBMC again
XBMC was selected as has lots of web based controls built into program already that will allow this function
